Oh the Places We'll Go...

Here are some of the places we have visited so far since we have been in Utah:

The boys and I took trip to Cabela's one day to check out the fish in the tanks and all of the fake animals too. Since it is free it was a pretty fun place to visit. You can ask for Tokens at the Customer Service desk as well to play the shooting game upstairs. We each got a chocolate sample at the bakery area and fed the fish as well. It was a fun place to spend a little time and I'm sure I will take the boys back for another visit.

The weekend before Anthon had finals the boys and I spent some time at Kangaroo Zoo on Friday night. We spent 3 hours there jumping on all of the inflatable slides and etc. We had a really good time but it would have been nice to take another kid to play with Everett. Vin did really well at climbing up the really big inflatables himself and going down the slides like a big boy. Once my wrist is ready to handle more weight we will definitely be returning to play again but maybe with some friends next time.

We wanted to go to the SLC Zoo or Tracy Aviary that Saturday Anthon needed time to study but it decided to down pour and neither one of those activities were the best for rain so we drove down to SLC and went to the Children's Discovery Museum instead and we had a great time there. The boys really loved it and I'm sure we will go back.

My Grandma came to visit for about 2 1/2 weeks to help me with the boys and house after getting surgery on my wrist so the Thursday before she went home her and I and the boys took a trip to the SLC Hogle Zoo. Since we have a Phoenix Zoo Membership we get half off at the zoo so that makes it more affordable to attend. I bought the boys a Phoenix Zoo membership for Christmas and that was before we knew that we might be moving. The animals seemed to be pretty attentive to their audience. Some of the most lively animals were the Lions, Seals/Sea Lions, Polar Bear and Leopard. We had a good time. The zoo is and always will be one of my favorite places to go. I'm not sure why I love it so much but I do and I never get tired of going. I feel happy when I am there.

The day before Grandma went home we were supposed to go the the new aquarium but I guess you have to buy tickets ahead of time and they were already sold out so instead we went to the Gardens/Splash Pad at Thanksgiving Point and that was fun. We also got to take a peek at the new Museum of Curiosity that opened. It looked impressive so since it cost 50 something to get into the Gardens, I went ahead and purchased a Thanksgiving Point membership for the year which gives us access to several areas and I'm really excited to take the boys to these places to explore and play.

The day my grandma left, my brother Chris and I went to the Tracy Aviary bird exhibit. The boys really like birds and it was a pretty Awesome place. This is another location that because of my Phoenix Zoo membership we get half off. It was only $11 for the 4 of us to get in. We saw some really neat birds. I think Everett's favorite were the owls and of course the peacocks. When we called Anthon's parents, he told them all about our visit to see the different birds and it was one of the cutest things ever.
